More tests result leaks for Intel Alder Lake chips appear to be filtering through. In previous weeks there has been evidence of early testing of these 12
th Gen Core desktop processors in apps such as Geekbench and SiSoft Sandra. Here again is a Geekbench (4) result, and this time a full 1T/nT test was run, and the base clock appears to be healthier than ever.
The latest Alder Lake test result, as reported by VideoCardz, seems to come from someone testing an upcoming 16C/24T desktop chip (Alder Lake-S) on a platform consisting of an Intel motherboard, with 32GB of DDR5 installed. This particular processor is thought to have 8x Golden Cove performance cores with Hyperthreading, and 8x Gracemont efficiency cores. The base frequency reported is 2.2GHz – a figure that appears to be creeping up over recent weeks/months. Obviously the max frequency of 27.2 GHz reported by Geekbench is an error and is perhaps 8x too fast due to the unfamiliarity of Alder Lake and its hybrid configuratio
Intel Rocket Lake-S processors are expected to launch soon and we’ve seen plenty of rumours regarding specs. So far, the line-up has 4 SKUs:
the i5-11400, the i5-11600K, the i7-11700K, and the i9-11900K. The expected specs of all four CPUs have now been revealed.
Twitter user @davidbepo (via Wccftech) shared the alleged specifications of the 8C/16T Intel Core i9-11900K, claiming that it would feature TVB (Thermal Velocity Boost), allowing it to reach an all-core boost of 4.8GHz, and a single-core boost of 5.3GHz. The TDP/PL1 is expected to be at 125W, while the PL2 doubles to 250W.
